The subtraction operation with matrices is similar to addition, where you need to match the position of elements. In order for subtraction to work both matrices must be the same dimensions. And similarly, to the addition of matrix, you have to ensure that both operands should be of the same order. It is all about matching the position of the values.
When you are trying to determine the difference between two matrices it is very clear. You will match the corresponding section of each matrix and just find the difference at each slot. It is very important to closely examine each matrix to figure out which matrix should be the minuend and subtrahend. The minuend should always be much larger in size. These worksheets explain how to solve matrix-based subtraction problems. Please note that all answers will also be in matrix form.
